Program in Economic and Legal Studies
The program in Economic and Legal Studies is a new program offered jointly by the Department of Legal Studies and the Department of Economics. Economics provides a tool for studying how legal rules affect the way people and businesses behave, so that understanding the economic aspects of legal problems has become an important part of a lawyer's education. Similarly, for a person trained as economist knowledge of legal issues has come to be increasingly important.
The program is structured in the following way:
1. Length of the Programme:
A 12 month, full-time programme. There will be 10 months of courses and 2 months for writing the thesis.
2. Thesis:
The theses must be on topics that involve both law and economics, and not on only law or only economics topics. Each thesis will have two supervisors, one from each department.
3. Pre-requisites/Admission requirement:
The Program will accept both those with a BA in Economics (or equivalent) and those with a BL. For admission of students having a BL, the admission requirements of the Legal Studies Department will apply. Students with an economics background should write an essay explaining why they wish to study law and economics, and include it in the application package.
4. Fee:
$7,500 (Applicants to this program are not eligible for CEU financial aid and tuition waiver)
5. Structure of the program:
Human Rights students not traveling abroad in Module IV have to submit a first outline of at least 10 pages (including bibliography) of their thesis. IBL and CCL students who were granted permission to write a long thesis and who are not traveling abroad in module IV should submit a first outline (structure) of at least 10 pages (including bibliography) of their thesis.
All submissions are to be made electronically to both the thesis advisor and the Legal Studies department administration. Those students who do not comply with this deadline cannot take courses in Module IV and are required to work exclusively towards their thesis during Module IV.
